Wide Open Walls 916 – Snakes
“Snakes! Why’d it have to be snakes?” These massive snakes are down at the bottom of an alleyway. As great as the art is it makes walking down the dark smelly alleyway a little more intimidating than normal. I’ve been meaning to capture this one for a while now but traffic never allowed for it until now. I snapped this and got the heck out of there!

Wide Open Walls 916 – 3D Banana
This banana is perfection. It isn’t political. It isn’t obscure. It isn’t hidden in an alleyway. It’s just plane hilarious. I did not really capture this in the photo but it is also massive.

Wide Open Walls 916 – Impressionism
This art wall reminds me of some of the Impressionism I have been fortunate enough to see in museums throughout the world. I wonder what the great artists would think of all of this temporary “graffiti art” on walls and buildings? I would like to think they would be right up there with scaffolding doing it themselves. What do you think?

Wide Open Walls 916 – Social Distancing Edition
Sacramento continues to encourage and promote it’s Wide Open Walls art festival. This colorful wall spoke to me as I am always partial to rainbows and color flows like this. Funny enough this was shot as only part of the wall. I preferred this simplicity to the other part of the wall which had the actual substance to it. Art can speak to us in many ways.

Wide Open Walls 916 -Sacramento State University
I love this mural. It’s bright and fun and iconic and perfect for the university. I could do without the parking signs obscuring it but that’s neither here nor there. For more Wide Open Walls new from this summer click here!
Wide Open Walls 916 – Sacramento Street Art Festival
Wide Open Walls hosted multiple events spanning multiple weeks this August in downtown Sacramento painting the city walls with street art! Several areas of downtown have been transformed by local and international artists. Locals watched the art being made, attended a number of hosted street parties, and even download an app for a guided walking tour of the various locations of public art pieces.
I took note of a few of the locations to visit while downtown last weekend and it did not disappoint! I’m proud of my city for allowing something as exciting and forward as this public art exhibit. I am proud Sacramento is finally becoming a world class city by promoting the arts in a modern way. I look forward to next year where they will hopefully do it again in other parts of the city.
Is their interesting street art in your city? What’s your favorite public art piece captured below?

Seeing a photo of the Princess on Instagram is what led me to Wide Open Walls. I went downtown looking for her and found all of the rest of this interesting and awesome art.
It’s hard to make garbage cans look good but they managed it!
How cool is this? 3D!
This one seemed to get a lot of attention by people walking around.
This is a representation of the famed Sacramento Tower Bridge.
Not sure what this is but I like it. And it was HUGE.
Rainbow version of our beautiful State Flag.
Take note of the ladies posing for selfies. I saw this in front of almost all of the art. People were posing and talking about posting it on social media like it was very serious business.
